Action speaks louder than words!
Without any further hesitation, Dak entrusted his Pokémon to Bon Clay and Darkrai, stepping out of the store alone.
Yes.
Alone.
Since he dared to venture out by himself, Dak naturally wouldn't head towards the Grand Line.
His destination, or rather, the objective. Was already crystal clear!
The 'Devil Child' Nico Robin, who is now 19 years old.
Dak needed the abilities of the Hana Hana no Mi.
This was simply a divine technique for a Pokémon Breeder, in the world of Pokémon, it's literally every breeder's ultimate dream.
Now that Dak has officially started his career as a breeder, he deeply understood this.
Wishing he himself had eighteen hands, one for each baby Pokémon.
Dak had already considered the pros and cons of having Nico Robin as a clerk.
The advantage, aside from the Hana Hana no Mi ability mentioned before, the most important thing was that Dak knew this character well enough.
To be honest, Nico Robin was not Dak's only target; every member of the Straw Hat Crew was.
Because Dak knew these people would never betray the Mystery Hatchery House once they joined, but he also knew some people were destined not to join the Mystery Hatchery House.
For example, Luffy, who wants to become the Pirate King; Franky, who dreams of sailing the best ship he built around the world; Nami, who wishes to draw a map of the entire world; Sanji, who aims to find the All Blue. These people are bound by their dreams and goals, destined to set sail towards the New World on a single ship.
But Robin was attainable. Her dream is to find the true Poneglyphs and restore the history of the Void Century.
This, and a significant part of it was to fulfill the wishes of her mother and the scholars of Ohara.
This goal, for the Mystery Hatchery House, was too simple.
Not to mention, some Pokémon could allow Robin to go back 800 years to witness that history directly, not to mention using Pokémon's power to help Robin search for the Poneglyphs, or even trading rare items with other pirate crews for information on Poneglyphs.
Even without all these, with Dak's knowledge of the storyline, finding those Poneglyphs' locations was not a challenge at all.
Isn't this much easier than conquering the world with Luffy?
Every day, staying in the hatchery to take care of children, cuddling the babies, and then just waiting for the Poneglyphs to be delivered.
And, according to Dak's own understanding.
Aside from the Poneglyphs, Robin might have another dream, which is to meet comrades willing to sacrifice everything to protect her, this ties back to what Saul-san told Robin.
Now, for the disadvantages.
This was clear, the World Government, or perhaps even a level lower, the Marines.
The World Government, those bunch of no-goods, Dak didn't care about them at all, nor did he ever consider them worthy customers.
The people of the World Government and the majority of pirates are just like a bunch of rotten fish not worthy of Pokémon. The Pokémon in their hands would either be taken for biological research by their superiors or coveted by the Celestial Dragons as pets.
The Marines were indeed a problem.
But it was a small problem.
"If you don't say, and I don't say, who would know Nico Robin is with me? You wouldn't want to lose the power of Pokémon that can change the world over a World Government's wanted criminal, right, Sengoku-san?"
Dak was very confident he could persuade the people on the Marine side, especially now that Sengoku-san had witnessed the extraordinary power of Pokémon.
Of course, this was under the premise that the person who came wasn't Sakazuki. That man is still a hothead, not realizing what fools the Celestial Dragons are, it's impossible to reason with him.
Nico Robin entered the Grand Line around the year 1515 of the Sea Circle Calendar, and she is currently in the West Blue.
Dak also kept up with news about the West Blue, thanks to this.
Just two days ago, Dak saw a newspaper article about Robin appearing in Bellemère.
"Bellemère."
Dak stepped out of a bar at the corner of the street and set foot in this area again.
Bellemère is an island, governed by the strongest country in the West Blue, where Robin was seen.
Before coming here, Dak had already gathered some information.
Although Bellemère is powerful, it's also very chaotic because it's not a World Government member state and doesn't enjoy the protection of the World Government or the Marines. It became powerful solely through various underground illegal businesses and a powerful army of ability users.
Yes, an army of ability users.
Devil Fruits are considered a once-in-a-decade rarity in the East Blue, but they are not so rare in the other seas, especially in the North Blue. The king of Bellemère once bought a large number of Devil Fruits at an auction held by the Donquixote family in the North Blue to cultivate strong warriors.
Dak could guess.
It's precisely because it's chaotic here, without Marine presence, making it a good hiding place. Indeed, it sounds like a place where Robin would stay.
But now, there's a perplexing question.
How to find Robin?
The moment the news was broadcast, the Marines must have already surrounded Bellemère. Marines could be seen everywhere on the streets, and it's unlikely Robin could have left in such a short time.
But...
Where is she hiding now?
Dak wandered through the bustling streets of Bellemère, feeling somewhat powerless in this situation.
If there were any Ghost-type Pokémon, perhaps their ability to phase through walls could expedite the search, but unfortunately, there were none.
Suddenly, Dak had an idea.
Robin might be watching the Marines within Bellemère.
So, he just needed to appear where the Marines were, essentially stepping into Robin's line of sight. At that moment...
Dak grinned, praising his own cleverness, and then recalled: "I remember it was..."
"De la X? Hmm, it seems right."
So...
The Marines patrolling within Bellemère suddenly found that a handsome young man frequently appeared beside them, emitting a strange laugh.
"Derechichichi~."
"Derechichichi~."
"Derechichichi~."
Dak spent the entire day with his peculiar laugh, almost driving himself crazy.
From leaving the Mystery Hatchery House in the morning to the sunset in the evening, Dak surrounded the Marines with his unique laugh.
The Marines had tried more than once or twice to shoo him away, but he would leave for a while only to return to another group of Marines and continue his antics.
However, until the night deepened, Dak still couldn't find any clues about Robin.
He began to suspect whether Robin had already left.
As for the possibility that Robin didn't recognize this laughter?
It's utterly impossible.
Even if Robin were to forget those historical texts, she couldn't possibly forget the bizarre laugh of "Derechichichi."
"Sigh, did I fail?"
Dak was somewhat disheartened, having left the Mystery Hatchery House full of confidence only to consider returning in low spirits.
However, as he reached for a door at the roadside, a pair of arms suddenly grew from his shoulders.
Dak's face lit up with joy.
Click.
Ah? You're starting with physical moves?
Unfortunately, before he could even speak, Robin decisively used her Hana Hana no Mi abilities to twist his neck, causing Dak to faint on the spot.
Her technique was proficient, ensuring Dak wasn't seriously harmed, preventing the story from ending right there.
